Memory really is the monster in the latest extended look at Season 2 of AMC’sInterview with the Vampire. Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) might want the journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) to think all is well with him and his revealed love interest, the vampire Armand (Assad Zaman). However, Louis has always been the unreliable narrator and all is not what it seems in this new 3 minute trailer for Season 2.
Torn between his past, his present, and his future, the extended look shows Louis grappling with his guilt while caught between multiple loves. Season 1 ended with him murdering his lover and maker Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid). However, fans ofAnne Rice’snovels might be aware that this isn’t the end of Lestat, who has his own history with Zaman’s Armand. Louis also must face his adopted daughter Claudia, played in Season 1 byBailey Bass,withDelainey Hayles taking over the role in Season 2. The extended look shows Claudian threatened by Armand’s arrival in Louis’ life as she and Louis settled into Paris and their new lives atthe Theatre Des Vampires.
Louis Isn’t the Only Character Under Fire
One major change from the book series to the TV show is giving the characterDaniel Molloy a bigger role. While he was the character who interviewed the titular vampire character in the 1976 novel by the same name, Daniel wasn’t named until later novels. He has a history of his own with Armand, which Season 2 seems set to flesh out more. Armand and Daniel, orThe Devil’s Minionas fans lovingly refer to the duo, have focus in the extended look too with Armand interested in Daniel in both the present and the past.Luke Brandon Fieldplayed Daniel in the past in Season 1 and looks primed to have a more prominent role in Season 2.
